I have cleared HDPCD today. A big big thanks to Durga sir and itversity team for for their contribution, they have provided online training and excellent course content.
Also, thanks to rram for prompt response to my queries.

Many congratulations on clearing the exam and many thanks for this post as it really boosts our confidence. I have started preparing for the exams with the help of Durga sir’s playlist.

I have a few questions regarding the examination:

In the playlist, for the Sqoop objectives, Durga has imported the DB and tables from the Cloudera example retail_db. But, in the exam, do we need to create our own db and tables ?
For Flume objective to start an agent, as described in the video, I started the agent with the given command. But it keeps running for ever.
In the certification exam, what should we do after starting the agent ? How long should we wait ? What should be the next action ? Please advice.
Thanks in advance !
